None of this bunch inspire confidence with ALBERT BOY getting a token vote. He posted a better effort over track and trip last time albeit in an amateurs race. Bogardus has been beaten out of sight on Turf since placing on the all-weather while Dalshand was still 10 lengths behind the winner when runner-up at Pontefract. Garbanzo’s best efforts have been over a mile so far and Valdizar has yet to threaten. Stuccodor has been winning over hurdles this year but last won on the Flat way back in 2014.
